Drone Surveillance — Thermal Security Day and Night
Aerial thermal and visual surveillance for events, industrial sites and natural areas in Burgundy. CATS certified, available in Nièvre and neighbouring departments.
The DJI Matrice 4TD combines thermal infrared and triple visible optics for effective surveillance day and night. Our CATS certification (DGAC Specific category) authorises beyond-line-of-sight operations and degraded conditions — essential for professional security missions.
Why use drones for security and surveillance?
A surveillance drone covers in minutes what would take hours to inspect on foot. It delivers:
- Night thermal vision: detection of human or animal presence in total darkness
- Extended coverage: up to 25 km transmission range, 49 minutes endurance
- Discretion: rapid deployment without alerting, capture from a safe distance
- Documentation: timestamped, geolocated recording of every observed event
Concrete applications
Event security
Monitoring crowd flows at concerts, Christmas markets, sporting events or cultural gatherings. The drone identifies pressure zones or emerging incidents before they escalate, coordinated with ground teams.
Industrial and agricultural site surveillance
Automated perimeter patrols over warehouses, farm buildings, silos. Real-time detection of intrusions, fire outbreaks or vandalism. Particularly suited to large agricultural or wine estates during harvest season.
Search and rescue
In coordination with local authorities (gendarmerie, SDIS), the thermal drone quickly locates a missing person in woodland, a maize field or difficult terrain — where ground searches can take hours. The Morvan and Nièvre forests make this a frequent operational need.
Environmental monitoring and anti-poaching
Surveillance of sensitive areas (Natura 2000 zones, reservoirs, state forests), detection of offences (fly-tipping, poaching) in coordination with wildlife wardens and OFB agents. Thermal imaging detects vehicles or individuals even under tree cover.
Early fire detection
During drought periods, monitoring of roadsides, forest edges and mandatory firebreak zones. The thermal sensor detects abnormal heat sources well before a fire becomes visible to the naked eye.
Who is it for?
- Event organisers (associations, municipalities, production companies) wanting a supplementary surveillance capability
- Industrial security managers (quarries, logistics platforms, power plants)
- Farmers and wine estates protecting their harvests and facilities
- Gendarmerie and SDIS for search and rescue operations (subject to protocol)
- Private security companies looking to add drone capability to their service offering
When to intervene?
- Events: deployment timed to peak risk moments (entry/exit, evening)
- Night surveillance: thermal camera is optimal at night, with or without moonlight
- Preventive patrols: regular schedule agreed with the client (daily, weekly)
- Emergencies: mobilisation within 2 hours for unplanned interventions in Nièvre and neighbouring departments
